Quiet and well kept site
Quiet well kept site. Directions were easy to follow and the site was well signposted. Facilities basic but fine for a CL. Some of the pitches are sloping but not overly so. Good access to Hadrian's Wall via permissive path just up the road. Good pub in Greenhead.... Show more

What more could you want
Insttuctions to find were excellent. Nice site, grass cut and collected which is great. Quiet, well placed for Hadrians Wall, lovely countryside. A bit of slope but nothing out of the ordinary.

Great wee CL
Stayed here for 3 nights in July 2022. Very easy access to an immaculately kept site. Although not the hugest of CLs the units are well spaced out. The information hut is a brilliant with information on the myriad of attractions in easy reach from the site. The site is... Show more

Beautifully situated CL
This CL is in the heart of farmland and is great. Pitches do slope a little but nothing that cannot be easily sorted with normal ramps and chocks. Well placed for visiting Hadrians Wall and well supplied with walks. Kielder Water is only a short drive away and well worth... Show more

Lovely and peaceful
Lovely and peaceful site which is well kept with plenty of space between pitches. Some of the pitches are a bit slopping and wood chocks are essential this is one I would revisit.
